Like Jan Karon's other books in the Mitford series, A New Song is like a visit to a simpler, friendlier place such as Andy Griffith's Mayberry, where the conflicts are engaging, but not terrifying, and the characters are well-developed, yet somewhat predictable. It is also like a Thomas Kincaid painting, a little brighter and flowery than reality, but what we would like reality to be.

I cannot praise this author enough! She speaks to my heart with her wonderful characters in the "Mitford Series" books. I've been an Episcopalian my entire life, so these books really speak to me and enchant me. I'm ready to move to Mitford! I'm now finishing this volume, which is Number 5, and have already received #6.
Anything written by Jan Karon is excellent! She writes very clean, informative, interesting, down to earth. Her stories could happen anywhere, at anytime, and the places are so laid back and relaxing-I think my blood pressure is probably much healthier when I'm reading one of her books-I have the whole collection, except the Bedside Companion, which I can't find(I will have it too as soon as I do).
Great book

I had heard about the Mitford series of books and wanted to read them. I wasn't disappointed. They were wonderful...couldn't stop until I had read all five.
